I think there’s a lot of mystery and ambiguity around how bloggers make money and how they work with brands. But when Shrimp Salad Circus really started to grow and flourish was when I started having frank, open conversations with like-minded women. Below are some topics I talked with Erinn about on the podcast, so listen now to get all the answers from my humble point-of-view.
